"Stupid wingnut says something stupid" thread

Well, we can't have The People interfering in the business of The People, can we?

That just lets the terrorists win.

Peter King says all kinds of fun things.

Google his quotes.  He's a charmer.  He's sort of the Bill Frist of this decade, only with even less brains and more evil.

I can't even...

"They're a threat to America. A threat to our babies."

The best part is when you realise a man who use to fundraise for the IRA and was considered a security risk by Reagan's Secret Service is chairing a committee into investigating Muslim terrorism.

Funny how that works out, yes?

Bryan Fischer at the Values Voter Summit...

"I submit to you that not a single one of our unalienable rights will be safe," Fischer said, "in the hands of a president who believes that we evolved from slime and that we are the descendents of apes and baboons." Fischer called the separation of church and state "mythical"

Damn.

Damn.

I don't think we'd have to go far back into Mr. Fischer's family tree in order to find the slime.

[Cain]

Hermain Cain, clearly angling for a position as Sec-State in Romney's government:

http://thinkprogress.org/yglesias/2011/10/11/340234/herman-cain-doesnt-know-the-president-of-ubeki-beki-beki-stan-stan-and-doesnt-care-either/

I'm ready for the 'gotcha' questions and they're already starting to come. And when they ask me who is the president of Ubeki-beki-beki-beki-stan-stan I'm going to say, you know, I don't know. Do you know?

And then I'm going to say how's that going to create one job?

I would dare say Uzbekistan has created more than a few US jobs, not least among perpetually outraged human rights organizations.

Also, Uzbekistan has only had the same ruler since Reagan was in power (this may not sound terribly impressive, until you realize there was no Uzbekistan until the end of Bush I's presidency).  I mean, gosh, it's not like anyone has had much time to learn about this mysterious and unheard of figure.

[Doktor Howl]

I automatically vote against anyone who uses the term "gotcha questions".

Because those people hate the idea of the press.  Also, no spine.

[M]aking concessions to Sharia law over against the moral code of the Judeo-Christian tradition is nothing new for America. We started doing it in 1619 when we began to tolerate the slave trade, as the first shipment of 30 African slaves arrived on the shores of Virginia ... The slaves who were brought here in chains in 1619 were Africans who had been kidnapped by other Africans and sold to slave traders who in turn brought them to America. The kidnappers, the ones who went into the interior of Africa to capture their fellow Africans to sell them into bondage, were predominantly Muslims.

    ...

    Now, in contrast to Islam and Sharia, the Judeo-Christian tradition from day one has been adamantly opposed to the slave trade ... Moses flatly prohibited the slave trade under penalty of death. "Whoever steals a man and sells him, and anyone found in possession of him, shall be put to death" (Exodus 21:16). In other words, if a strictly biblical code had been followed in 1619, the slave trader who brought that ship to Virginia would have been arrested the moment he landed, prosecuted and hung by the neck until dead. The slaves on board would have been returned to their families and their homelands, and slavery would never have gained a foothold in the United States.

    But sadly, we made our first concession to Sharia law in 1619 instead of being guided by the wisdom of Scripture, and we have paid a terrible price for it. Slavery became our first national sin, as abortion is today ... So if the early colonists had followed either the Old or New Testaments, the slave trade would have been treated as criminal behavior from the very beginning, and America never would have been plagued with all the myriad evils that slavery and racism have brought to our land.

I don't even know where to start on how hilariously wrong this is.

I had to read that three times, AND watch the video.  It's really what he said.

"If there is one guy out there that is the next George Washington, the only guy that I could think of is Rick Santorum. I would ask that you would take a look at him," said Beck. He prefaced his comments by saying that he doesn't endorse candidates, make donations or get "involved in politics." He also clarified that he doesn't "trust" any of the candidates, but if he had to pick one, it would be Santorum.
